There is some thinking that total immutability could actually happen, once a blockchain hosts enough value and enough parties with different interests become invested, it could become too difficult to make any changes to the code anymore. See SegWit as a possible precursor.

right, but invalidating UTXOs or inserting invalid tx's would be reversing tx's and tampering with the ledger, which violates "immutability". ETH can claim it never reversed any transactions with a straight face because it tampered with the state, not the ledger.
If you told an accountant that you had directly tampered with the balances, they would certainly conclude that you had tampered with the ledger. That's how people who work with ledgers use the terms, or at least used them before Ethereum.

Already mined ??? At the moment there will be an infinite supply as far as I’m aware that’s why I can’t understand the price and they altered the chain that’s why ethereum classic is the real deal with a hard cap on supply
